For one example, recently a fellow wikipedian got a picture he had
taken himself deleted because someone else had uploaded it somewhere
else, so they didn't believe it was his. I myself have had pictures
from US government almost deleted because I only specified which
government institution it came from, not what page they could be found
(saved because I happened to find them after being notified of my
terrible crime). Copyright diligence is good, copyright paranoia is
not.
